The Yips

April 16, 2008 — artaban7

So I have a case of “the Yips”. Coined by Barney from How I Met Your Mother, the term “Yips” describes an otherwise awesome individual’s inexplicable and sudden inability to “execute”. To wit, I find myself unable to ask attractive girls for their phone numbers, even when they’ve initiated the conversations with me. It happened twice last week, once in a waiting room at the city courts, and then again at the grocery store.

It’s like in Top Gun, after Goose dies, and Tom Skeritt’s character says, “Keep sending him up.”
